GST Menu Variation

Hello Tiger,

Let's check your GST/BAS Amendment report and Transactions by Tax Code to verify if there were changes made on the previous lodgement or if a transaction was coded with GST incorrectly. Basically, once the BAS is marked as lodged, then that period locks and any changes to transactions within that period are specifically tracked as amendments. Not only are they tracked, but they will also affect the next BAS lodgement.

Here's how to run the amendment report:

1. Go to GST and select Run reports.
2. Select the GST Amendments report.
3. Amendments for all periods will be shown here. 

If there are no amendments showing, please run the Transactions by Tax Code and check the totals and see if there is any discrepancy. Here's how:

1. Go to GST and select Run reports.
2. Select the Transactions by Tax Code report.
3. Set the report period you want to run, along with the accounting method (Cash or Accrual basis). Then, select Run report.
4. Look for any transactions which may have been categorised into the wrong GST code.
5. To fix wrongly coded transactions, select the transaction to open it up, then select the correct GST code from the GST column. Select Save and close once done.
6. Repeat Step 5 for all other affected transactions.

If the amounts are still incorrect, you may have to request the BAS to be unlodged for the previous BAS, and to do this I'd recommend contacting our Customer Care Team to further help you.

Exactly as you said. $10 variation is from the amendment done which shows up in the amendment report.

Really appreciate the prompt response. and input

Thanks

Hi Tiger,

Thanks for getting back to us and letting us know. Since there is an amendment showing, it's best to reach out to our Customer Care Team to request the BAS be unlodged that way the changes made will be accounted to the correct BAS period.

If you have an accountant that uses QuickBooks Online for an accountant you can add them to your QuickBooks account and they should be able to unlodge the BAS in your account. If not, please contact Customer Care Suppor directly.
